DAILY?READINGS: 2 Samuel 22; Jeremiah 6; Ephesians 1:1-14
The father to the children shall make known thy truth. Isaiah 38:19
Ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath, but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. Ephesians 6:4
Parenting includes numerous challenges, particularly the spiritual training of our children. The home is the place where the spiritual foundation should be laid—then reinforced by the teaching of the local church fellowship. “Teach them diligently unto thy children” (Deut. 6:7). “Precept upon precept; line upon line … here a little, and there a little” (Isa. 28:10). —William Gustafson
Cling to the Bible, though all else be taken;
Lose not its precepts, so precious and pure;
Souls that are sleeping its tidings awaken;
Life from the dead in its promises sure. —M. J. Smith
